Open Source

Open source software code is protected by a special license that gives everyone access to it, meaning no one company can fully own it. Freedom means choice. Choice means power.

Open source returns control to the customer. Developers can access the code and change it as needed, new features can be added to it, and bugs are quickly found and fixed. If customers don't like one open source vendor’s service, they can choose another without overhauling their infrastructure.

Open source simply creates better software. It multiplies development capacity many times over because everyone collaborates in the development, meaning the best software wins. Not just one company, but an Internet-connected, worldwide community.

What does this mean for your customers? No more technology lock-in. No more monopolies. Nothing but CHOICES!

Why Open Source

The Open Source Channel Alliance and SYNNEX are proud to announce the Open Source Jump-Start Appliance, an HP server that can be shipped to YOUR customers to use for up to 60 days to determine if the solution works for their business.

The Appliance includes an HP DL 165 G5 server, RHEL 5.0 Enterprise, JBoss Enterprise Application Platform, an Open Source database (such as Ingres or EnterpriseDB), and one or more of our other Open Source applications (from Zimbra, Zenoss, Zmanda, Pentaho, JasperSoft, Alfresco, or Likewise).

This solution is bundled with competitively-priced services from one of our on-site consulting partners, and is designed to be a “sandbox” for  development. It includes the operational tools to utilize actual company data, and will provide a valuable comparison of performance and ease-of-use vs. costly commercial solutions.
